Gotta love the occasional overdose of description in battle.

Quote
Wyrm 2 bites Wyrm 1 in the head and the injured part is ripped into loose shreds!
An artery has been opened by the attack!
A tendon in the skull has been torn!

Just reminds me of a quote from Heavy Metal:
Quote
Lincoln Sternn, you stand here accused of 12 counts of murder in the first degree, 14 counts of armed theft of Federation property, 22 counts of piracy in high space, 18 counts of fraud, 37 counts of rape... and one moving violation.

Oops, meant to post this in another thread
Might as well post some nice quotes. I enjoy when after a fierce battle, a dwarf will just comment on their mood or something unrelated and it will come up in the reports

Another world genned for science, this one 675 years old. As I seems to be a running theme, the longer the world gens, the more goblins rise. I think this has something to do with beast numbers being really shitty in small worlds, so I'll try setting them up to high/very high and post results.


Ummm... mispost?

It was inevitable.

In all seriousness, I always liked the phrase "And now you know why you fear the night!" whenever an... um, night creature appears.   It always feels epic.  Except when a were-ass appears, then its HILARIOUS (unless it was burrito night at the were-ass's house).

Now you will know why you fear the night.

It has been determined that Trump is an average unladen swallow travelling northbound at his maximum sustainable speed of -3 Obama-cubits per second in the middle of a class 3 hurricane.

This is definitely a favorite of mine.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. At least that's what the restraining order says.

Indeed, it can be very Buddhist-philosophical or something.
